I am looking for web browser usage stats in Europe. It is important
that different versions of each browser is represented (ie Netscape
4.7, Opera 6.0).  It would also be nice to view by individual country
(specifically UK, France, and Germany).  Thanks.

I found stats for worldwide use. I've yet to find European use only, though.

Yeah, world wide stats will not help me.  

As far as the Opera comment, the IE default truly makes identifying
Opera's use difficult.  I will take it into account.  I am just
interested in a compehensive list.

Actually now that I have done a little research I found that Opera can
be detected in through the user agent.  Whichever browser it
identifies as, the user agent still contains the word "opera"  just
FYI.

Keep in mind that all browser stats are inaccurate, due to Opera's
default setting that identifies itself as IE.

Google provides browser statistics and search-by-country statistics at
://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html. They don't provide the
information you want, but I'm sure they could easily generate it from
their logs. You might email them and ask about the possibility. Most
other major sites keep track of that kind of stats too, and probably
at least some of them would be happy to provide them to you. Of
course, the results would be skewed based on what site they came from
- apple.com would probably show significantly more Safari than
average, for example. However, sites like Google should get fairly
accurate stats.

This is the easiest European Internet statistics page I could find,
though it has nothing that could answer your question:
